The two big throws that I've seen where it was just clear that Minshew doesn't have what it takes to be elite is the deep pass to Chark in week 2 that should have been an easy TD. Minshew has the deep ball accuracy to drop it in the bucket for a nice gain, but he doesn't have the arm to see a guy like Chark streaking three yards past the defender and gun it to him to turn the 30 yard gain into a catch and run TD.

The other one was a play in week 3 where he got flushed out of the pocket and one of the receivers broke free in the scramble drill and was open just beyond the sticks. A franchise QB consistently makes teams pay for that by throwing a quick dart to that open receiver for a first down. Minshew just doesn't have the arm strength to get the ball there without having his base and momentum under him, and the ball fell a yard short of the targets feet.

Those were two glaring throws that a franchise QB needs to make, in addition to those honey hole deep out cover 2 beaters that we apparently don't even have in the playbook because they know Minshew can't hit them.
